Austria’s Best Kept Secret: How to Visit Hallstatt

This small town overlooking Lake Hallstatt is commonly referred to as one of the most beautiful lakeside towns in the whole world, due to its picturesque charm and surrounding gloriously mountain range.

How to Visit Hallstatt

It is not particularly straight forward to arrive at Hallstatt unless travelling by car, which only adds to the allure of the small town as it is often disregarded by travellers given its limited accessibility.

If travelling from Salzburg or Vienna, take the train between the two and get off at Attnang-Puchheim. Then, switch to the train bound for “Bad Ischl and Obertraun”. The Halstatt station is one stop before Obertraun and south of Bad Ischl. Once off the train, take the ferry (it will be there to meet the train) across the lake to Hallstatt. Et viola!

If travelling from Czech Republic, you will first need to make your way to Cesky Krumlov (2.5 hour bus drive from Prague), and then take a shuttle bus direct to Hallstatt (be aware that these run more frequently in the summer and are limited during the low season). Shuttle companies offering the commute include Shuttle Cesky Krumlov and Bean Shuttle (with very similar prices).

Once there, the only way to get around is to walk – which is, of course, the most pleasant way to get around a small town!

What to do in Hallstatt

So now you’re here, you’re probably wondering what there is to do? The main attraction is the picturesque town itself, so be sure to take some holiday snaps as you take the ferry across the lake (it is the best view for photos and not to be missed!)

The main attraction for visitors other than the town itself is to visit the 250 year old salt caves. Tours depart daily.

Another activity is to see the ice caves on the other side of the lake in Dachstein.

How long should you come for?

As Hallstatt is such a small town, visitors really only need 1-2 nights to enjoy it. A great idea is to combine Hallstatt with Vienna and Salzburg to see three of Austria’s highlights!

Hi Brooke! I’m from Austria and I totally reccomend coming to Innsbruck when you’re in Austria the next time 🙂 It’s my hometown and full of amazing attractions inbetween the beautiful alps! I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as Salzburg and Vienna! Love, Kristina

I just visited Hallstatt about 2 weeks ago and I felt it was one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. Wished I had more time to spend. Maybe I’ll stay a night or two next time. Hallstatt looks exactly like the beautiful photos you shared!

I think it should be noted that Hallstatt dates back to pre-Roman times as a place of salt (hence the name). The Hallstatt Museum is in town and has great displays bout the history if the area. One of the other attractions is the ossuary/graveyard. There’s only limited burial ground due to the steep terrain. That means that bones only get to stay in the graveyard for a few years. Later they are dug up and placed in the ossuary. Many of the skulls are painted with beautiful symbols and are arranged decoratively with the rest of the bones. When you’re finished touring you can take a punting boat or sit next to the lake for dinner.

Hallstatt is really magical and beautiful place. I live in the Czech Republic, so I have it pretty close, but I haven´t been there yet. Now, I really have to! Thank you for tips, I simply love your blog! 🙂

Oh wow! My boyfriend used to live in Austria and has always said we should visit Hallstatt. We keep meaning to go to Salzburg and Hallstatt for the weekend as we live in Munich but keep putting it off. No more, your photos have definitely convinced me! Thank you 🙂
